Today's Everyday Fashion (failure!)
I looooove Blake Lively's outfit (left), but my attempt to re-create came up a little... bell-bottomed. :-) The fit of my pants is all wrong for this look but if I find some high-waisted peach trousers at least I have the rest of the outfit ready to go!
Now tell me: would you wear Blake Lively's pink look?
Shirt: Banana Republic, $15
Belt: Gap, $3
Necklace: Stella & Dot, c/o stylist Lori McMinn
Pants: Kansas boutique
Shoes: Banana Republic, $20

it is a little bell bottomed, but i prefer that over the drapey weirdness of the other pants.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I'd rather wear your outfit than Blake's in real life...maybe if you tried skinnies it would work better? Love the necklace!
ReplyDeleteJ, I actually really like your bell-bottomed version of the outfit!!! It's kind of retro but fresh at the same time!! Plus, the bell-bottom is much more wearable for most ladies...I'm pretty sure those pleated pants Blake has on would make me look like a giant hot air balloon gone awry!
ReplyDeleteVery few can pull off the pleated pants look anyways. I love your bell bottom look. So retro chic :)
ReplyDeleteVery few can pull of Blake's look, it looks like something straight out of Elle magazine. Your look is a little too "bell-bottom-y" but I still like it!
ReplyDeletegirl you are wearing those pants. i don't like that other look. your look is more doable.
ReplyDeleteI like yours better!!
ReplyDeleteTo truly mimic Blake's Gossip Girl outfit I'd say you should search for high-waisted pants in a gray tone. I like the *almost* monochromatic look Blake has going. And I'd say menswear shoes or lace-up booties are important as well.

ReplyDeleteHere are Blake's pants. Wish they still had them in my size!!
I'm a bit of a whale at the moment (new mom, lol) so no I wouldn't wear it, but I LOVE this look!
ReplyDeleteBTW I meant Blakes look. I love your re-creations but I agree with you. The bell-bottom look doesn't do it for me. You still wore it well.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! Loved hearing what you think of my crazy pink bell-bottoms. :-) A Facebook fan posted a link to these pants, which I think are the perfect solution. They are coral trousers from ASOS for $65. Way better than my pants, and not nearly as huge as Blake's.
